Is it the wide variety of downloads available?

Is it the social aspect of some of its features, such as the “chat” room?

Perhaps it’s a source used to gather community-related information and news.

Maybe it’s a platform which allows you to post and upload material you consider to be of interest to others.

As for me, a member for a little over 1-1/2 years, I first joined solely for the purpose of gaining download access to all of the site’s offerings. With that as the motivating factor behind my signing-up, it didn’t take long to have my downloading rights restricted, and I pretty much stopped visiting the site.

Sometime later, I decided to look into regaining my unrestricted downloading rights, and that’s when I started to evolve as a member, eventually doing a “180.”

I’ve gone from being strictly a downloader, to becoming one whose efforts are all focused in terms of those of an uploader; and not just any uploader posting a whole bunch of stuff, just for the sake of maintaining the “ratio.” I want to provide material that perhaps might make it onto the list of the 30 “most popular torrents”…items others might actually…“Enjoy!”

So, why do you use the site?

@monty:

Those "flushable" wet wipes are detrimental to the public sewer system because they do not break down. I have a bidet toilet seat cover that was cost roughly $45 US.  No more worries about plumbing back ups coming into the house from the municipal sewer.  This happened at my local gym at it was not a pretty site.  Ban the baby/ass wipes!

Well, I use wipes that are NOT "flushable."

How I Could Just Kill a Man (1991) Cypress Hill

(It came out 25 years ago, and I still "bump" it like it was just released yesterday!)

@cannonmc:

I know more Illuminati and Freemasons than I do people on this site.

I disagree with the torrent anonymity. It's frustrating there is no simple way to contact members. And I can't easily follow one member's posts across multiple forums.

But then I don't pay, so don't make the rules. Other sites do have a feeling of a community, this one does have a lot of porn.

Regarding your statement…

“I disagree with the torrent anonymity. It's frustrating there is no simple way to contact members. And I can't easily follow one member's posts across multiple forums.”

I see this as three separate issues, none of which should have anything to do with the others.

1. Torrent (uploader) anonymity exists, mainly as an attempt to protect an uploader from being subject to any copyright infringement litigation.

2. I too, wish there was a “simple” way to contact fellow members, but compromising an uploader’s anonymity should not be the solution to this issue.

3. It is quite easy to track many, if not all of a particular member’s posts, “across multiple forums.” In setting your forum search parameters, enter the particular member’s name in the “by user:” field; and in the “Search for:” field, enter a bunch of commonly used words, such as the, and, can, how, etc., and select “Match any words.” Once those posts are listed, you can scan them for any other words the member might commonly use, and revise your search.

@Popper:

@Ellis: I'll look into it.  :crazy2:

@danijelr15 and @archangelslc : Seen the difficulties get the uploader privacy correct at all places, I don't see that we'll add complexity anywhen soon. Sorry.

Thank you Popper.

I did open a HelpDesk request also, so please feel free to cancel it since you are now addressing the matter.

Thanks again!

It’s sad and hard to believe that, today, there still exists adults who are that clueless about HIV/AIDS. :afr:

@Popper:

Fixed 

It's NOT fixed.
I entered a comment on one of my uploads, in response to a comment. My partner (also a member), who had downloaded the particular upload as well, received a message stating a new comment had been entered at that upload; and it stated that the new comment was made by "member's name" and not by "uploader."
So the problem still exists.

I know it's your job, hence your "title," but why ask me?

I'm not the one who authored the rules, nor do I "break" them.

But since you asked…

Why not?

Personally, I think it's great!

It provides opportunities for both downloaders, as well as uploaders.

If you don't like offering, just move on to the one that does suit you.@cannonmc:

@Ellis:

I've had the same upload removed twice now, in spite of its 15-16% difference in file size of that of the original.

But do we we really need a multitude of different file sizes and formats of the same movie, over and over again.

To my mind there are two possibilities, a full DVD post, a decent non-DVD post. I realise that some people like the tweaks of other posts but type 'scandal vatican' for instance into the search box. Do we really need 44 different posts?

And with so many duplicates it is obvious the seeder hasn't even bothered to check and certainly hasn't bother to say 'this is a copy of something I got elsewhere so thank you to the original poster'.

I'm not quite sure what file you're referring to with your comment..

b) The second I confirm to be a duplicate. A few added screenshots don't make it no duplicate. On a video torrent, what counts are the video files. Only when we see a full original Picture Set added, it will count as added shared works

…and many thanks for re-posting the one removed and making it freeleech as well!

.@Popper:

Usually confirmed duplicate uploads aren't removed immediately and you get a PM. You can reply to the moderator having handled that report and appeal giving a reason why you belief it isn't handled right. If you aren't satisfied with his feedback, you still can write the Helpdesk.

I've looked through your Uploaded Torrents for those having found duplicate:

a) The first wasn't indeed a duplicate, so I restored it, made it freeleech, promoted it and marked to your Profile that it wasn't a duplicate.

b) The second I confirm to be a duplicate. A few added screenshots don't make it no duplicate. On a video torrent, what counts are the video files. Only when we see a full original Picture Set added, it will count as added shared works.

So that gives a somewhat mixed result…

Don't forget to check the file sizes!

Before reporting a duplicate (and more importantly…to the site, before confirming and removing a "duplicate")...

Please make sure the difference in the file sizes between the original and "duplicate" is not greater than 10%; and therefore considered not to be a duplicate.

I've had the same upload removed twice now, in spite of its 15-16% difference in file size of that of the original.

What makes this instance worse, is that at the time of removal, it was in the top 5-10 of the "most popular torrents!"

“Imitation of Life” (1959)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052918/

Pretty much the last 10 minutes of the movie, especially those final few!

I was watching the movie with my mom, and maybe around seven years old; and I think at that age, my crying was probably more caused by seeing her crying, than the movie!

It was a long while before a movie made me tear-up again, and I couldn’t even tell you what the movie was.

As I got older, either the movie moments got sadder, and there were more movies with them, or I just got weepier after my 30’s; because I couldn’t even tell you how many got me “going!”

And…as I get older still, the movie moments don’t even have to be sad ones anymore!

@MrMazda:

While I can echo that waiting forever to download a torrent is frustrating, especially when there's no pictures, an improper or completely absent description, I do have to point out one key thing that you may not have considered.

A lot of the users that I see who seem to have this practice all come from a country where English is not their primary language, and most often, are using browsers with a system language other than English. I can't help but wonder with these cases if the problem in most of the cases may be that the user simply does not understand what is expected and does not have a sufficient knowledge of what they're doing to get the upload right by the rules as they're written. As a general rule, this is the reason why I encourage anyone who sees what they suspect may be multiple uploads by a slow uplaoder to report said uploads so that we can handle them accordingly. Just remember… Just because our average user cannot see information such as who uploaded a torrent, what all they're seeding, and what other uploads that they may have on the go, this does not mean that our staff and moderators are blind to this information. We've always been able to see such things, as our position within the site requires us to be able to. We have ways of dealing with these things.

I understand.

With regard to the fact that many members are non-English speaking, I see that there are sub-boards and groups, as well as forum postings, geared towards some of the various non-English members.

Perhaps the site’s rules and such, can be made available in the languages of these particular sub-boards, and posted at each one accordingly. Of course, I can’t verify that this may already be the case, as I am one who’s limited to being fluent in only one language–English.

With offers such as this, that might be difficult to get a “complete” copy of due to being dead every so often before being snatched; maybe downloaders should select just a portion of the package, then immediately post a comment stating which portion they’re downloading. Then other downloaders should select a different portion, and again immediately comment, noting their choices.

Once, a selected portion has been completely downloaded, it can then be uploaded as a much smaller, and easier to snatch offering; and repeating the processes with the various remaining segments, might result in another “complete” set.

I don’t know how feasible this all is, but it’s just a thought.
